Yes! This works! I have a question, though. The code below will reset everything within the group without hardcoding individual userdatas. I would like to avoid that as there are so many. Can this be done?

There are 16 user data variables for each of 10 presets and there are 10 sets of presets so I am looking at hardcoding 1600 userdatas. I would like to avoid that if possible and just use the Group user data id so that everything within the group is reset. Also, this way if I add to the group, I don't have to worry about the code missing that parameter because I didn't reference its specific ID.

You posted your answer without any information on potential
issues or limitations, thus I must assume that you either do not
know them or forgot to include them in your answer.Either way, I feel obliged to point out that your answer only
works in a special case, namely when you create the userdata
sequentially and do not modify it afterwards.If you answer a question without the intend of someone using
the information from your answer, why answer it at all.-Niklas

He asked a specific question. And I gave him a specific answer. That's SOP.
It's not your place to give your almighty approval on how to answer someone's question.I've managed hundreds of people and several business for over three decades. And some 20 something yr old snot nosed punk on the internet with the ego the size of 747 who thinks he's God's gift to coding is going to tell me how to properly reply to a question?
Oh hell no.
You weren't even an idea when I was managing people for a living.
Seriously. Who the hell do you think you are talking to me in that way?
That was way out of line.-ScottA

Dear Scott, I am sorry if you feel personally assaulted. My intentions are solely directed at improving
accuracy of information in this thread. I do not want to further derail this thread, so if you feel like
continuing this discussion, I invite you to contact me via PM.Regards,

Is there a way instead of using the tuple to just use the group user ID and some code that refers to what's under it instead of hardcoding what's under it? That would solve the problem.

Thank you for apologizing.
We're cool. But wow man. Take it easy on that whole "correction" stuff.
I'm not exactly a rookie at this. I've been here longer than you and the last thing I need is posting lessons from you. So cut the crap dude. Or I'll swim over there and kick you're little butt.

But since op don't want to hardcode his user_id he will still need to iterate thourght the dictionary each time so it will be same as iterate GetUserDataContainer.
So it's why in my previous method, in all case even if there is 3 reset On, it will iterate only one time.
EDIT: a nicer way would be to get UserDataContainer only one time for build a dict with parent/child relation dict["parent_id]:[descid,bc] then store this dict globally.
And finally do as I did in my previous post but using dict instead. -

It is not the same because GetUserDataContainer() needs to build the list from the object's
DynamicDescription first, which is an overhead you only have once instead of each time you
use the function if you cache the result instead (either directly or as a dictionary, doesn't matter
very much). -

Hi,
sorry to interrupt the professional discussion once more.
I was a bit surprised, when returning after a long weekend, to see this thread completely derailed and two long term community members ranting at each other.
Looks like you already settled this, but just in case you didn't and you are still throwing bombs at each other via PM, please, reach your virtual hands. I'm pretty sure, nobody wanted to insult anybody and we shouldn't get on a personal level in this forum.
Of course insults on a personal level are generally a no-go in this forum. And here I have to say, Scott, you went a bit overboard for no obvious reasons.
One more thing to clarify:
We want to have this forum as a source of information. And therefore it is absolutely necessary to discuss proposed solutions and also mention their shortcomings. Critique and corrections are the base for good solutions. And it's not that far fetched to assume, a post in a thread is also meant as a solution to the actual problem. So for me, Niklas was right to point out possible problems. We can not expect a future reader to implicitly notice these all by himself.So, if not already done so, exchange a PM apologizing to each other.
And now I step back again and let you guys optimize the code further.

^#!$#!**t Andreas.
This is the second time where you took the side of Niklas for attacking me for no good reason. And then had the gall to publicly lecture me as if I was actually in the wrong.
And the second time where after I took the high road said ok never mind. Lets just drop it, and chalk it up to a misunderstanding. You then came back again and took another cheap shot at me for no good reason other than to get in one more dig at me.
Since it was "Settled". Your involvement in this thread was completely unnecessary Andreas.
But worse than that. You had the balls to point at me for defending myself from being attacked for no good reason by another member who was obviously completely out of line.Since you obviously have some major bias with Niklas. And not only allow him to attack people, but actually support it and take his side when he does it. I'm no longer going to participate in this forum.
This is no longer the casual, ego free, easy going place, where developers can not only help each other out, but also talk comfortably with each other. Without worrying about being jumped on for asking simple questions. Or having a different opinion.
This place is now a cold and harsh environment. Where massive egos are bowed to, and treated like Gods. And are actually encouraged to be rude and arrogant to other members who are considered to be "below their standards".
There's no humans here anymore. Just robots that have no clue how to have a Human-To-Human conversation. And I have no need, or desire, to be in that kind of environment.
That's probably why all the old timers don't post here anymore. This place has been infected with too many bloated egos.Shame on you. Shame on you both.
You've ruined one of my favorite places to talk with developers. And turned it into StackOverflow 2.0.-ScottA

I have tested gr4ph0s last code against my initial code. I didn't implement Niklas' changes because I don't know how. Both clock in a 3 sec in the main (more complex) file. So they both appear to be taking the same time to accomplish the same task. Any idea why this may be the case?
